Deputies arrested a 50-year-old man after an injured homeless woman accused him of raping and hurting her while holding her hostage for days in Miami-Dade County.
Deputies believe DB was armed with a knife when he first attacked the woman on Friday night under a canal bridge. She reported he used the knife to cut off her clothes.
“I want to kill you,” B told the victim, according to a police report.
The woman reported that he punched her while holding her hostage under threat on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and part of Tuesday, according to the police report.
The woman, who had visible injuries, said she fled after he allowed her to go to the hospital and ran to a nearby Metro Bus Station where she told a deputy what happened, records show.
Deputies detained B and took him to the Miami-Dade Police Department’s Special Victims Bureau in Doral where they questioned him and he “admitted” to some of what the victim said, according to the police arrest report.
Records show deputies arrested him at 1 a.m., on Wednesday, and Miami-Dade correctional deputies booked him nearly two hours later at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
On Wednesday afternoon, B was facing charges of armed sexual battery, false imprisonment, and battery. A judge denied him bond and ordered him to stay away from the victim.
Court records show B is scheduled to appear in court again on Thursday morning. Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge AR is set to preside over the case.
